• How to run a Script in Vcenter Orchestrator... ?

  Hi team,

  
  

  I m starting to VMware Vcenter orchestrator. I installed Vcenter Orchestrator autonomous set up in my test environment to Windows server 2008 R2. I want to run a script in a client application to vcenter orchestrator.

  
  

  But I was unable to run the script in Vcenter orchestrator. I m getting after that error"you are not allowed to run the local process '.

  
  

  I couldn't configure vCO to allow execution of local processes & cALTER vCO to allow access to file system to the scripts folder:

  
  

  To configure the VCO to allow running local process:

  • Go to/app-server/server/vmo/conf
  • Edit the file vmo.properties and Add (if not already done) the following line to enable

  com.VMware.js.allow - local-process = true Set up VCOs to allow file system access to the scripts folder:

  If the file does not exist, you can create simply as described here: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.vco_administer.doc_42%2FGUID-C9F6748A-32F9-4712-99EB-3A48BFFDF5E9.html - this is a plain text file.

• Create a new Local Admin account on several servers 5.5u3b ESXi - errors w / existing Script

  I have what should be a fairly simple task, but as with many things in life it has so far proven very evasive.  My environment is made up of about 60 guests ESXi (5.5u3b) with 3 Server vCenter (6.0) in front of them.  I need to change the ROOT password for all virtual servers, but before I do my boss wants that I create a second account administrator (Root) to make sure my script to change password causes us to free access to the vHosts.  That is my problem.

  I looked at several articles by different people, including Terrence Luk and William Lam.  I have also reviewed several forum posts including https://communities.vmware.com/message/2343138#2343138 and https://communities.vmware.com/thread/470056 who answered almost to my question, but I get an error when using these scripts:

  New-VIPermission: 30/03/2016 Group Local New - VIPermission 08:33:59 accounts are not supported for ESX version 5.1

  It seems that I can't manage local users on the ESXi with PowerCLI hosts since 5.1... is that correct?  Y at - it a new cmdlet PowerCLI which replaced this cmdlet, or y at - it another way for me to reach my goal?

  As mentioned, I tried several scripts, all with the same basic components, and all with the same error.  However, just to give us a starting point, it comes down to the last script I tested: (I obviously changed the variables)

  $accountName = "OMSAITA52".

  $accountPswd = "password"

  $accountDescription = "Dell OpenManage user '.

  $esxlist = Get-VMHost

  {foreach ($esx to $esxlist)

  SE connect-VIServer -Server $esx -user root -password "password".

  $rootFolder = get-file -name ha-folder-root

  Try {}

  Get-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -ErrorAction Stop

  }

  Catch {}

  $account = new VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription UserAccount - GrantShellAccess -

  New-VIPermission -entity $rootFolder -main $account -role admin

  }

  VIServer disconnect -Confirm: $false

  }

  Right now I'm just connect directly to a single host and manually run the commands in bold to prove the logic is sound, but eventually I would like to run against all virtual servers via vCenter, or a spreadsheet.

  Thanks in advance for your help guys, I appreciate it.

  If it is literally the exact code in your script, then it will not work.

  First, I'll show you what PowerCLI version I use (because maybe it's some weirdness in your version):

  (Get-PowerCLIVersion).UserFriendlyVersion
  VMware vSphere PowerCLI 6.0 Release 3 build 3205540
  

  Then after that I typed this code exactly as is transcribed here. I happen to have a server named ESX01 in my environment. Please correct hostname of your ESXi. Correct the password too (change the value between the quotation marks):

  $node = Connect-VIServer -Server 'esx01' -User root -Password 'P@ssw0rd'
  New-VMHostAccount -Id 'Test' -Password 'P@ssw0rd' -Description 'Tester' -GrantShellAccess:$true -Server $node
  New-VIPermission -Entity $node.name -Principal 'Test' -Role Admin -Propagate:$true -Server $node
  

  It works flawless in my environment. Check the screenshot:

  

• Running PowerCLI scripting against vCenter occupies space of database in vCenter?

  Hi all

  Someone can confirm, running or collecting data using PowerCLI against vCenter occupy or use vCenter database space?

  Some commands (generally the things which create, modify (including the power on/off/suspend/move/run, etc.). or remove) will create event entries will be stored in the database of vCenter. Others who may are Connect-VIServer can also register an event. The "Get" cmdlets will not create entered events

  You can identify those who have the VI Client open and see if the script causes all events appear in the lower pane or by running Get-VIEvent on the vCenter server after your script is run (search for events based on the username)

• Complete the VI Client with PowerCLI Script idle Sessions

  Hello gurus PowerCLI

  I searched the net for a script PowerCLI that would end all the VI client sessions that have been inactive for x period of time.  I found a post on the forums of VMware (http://communities.vmware.com/message/914858?z=zI0r8n) but had no luck with it.  I also found a script created by A.Mikkelsen, to http://www.amikkelsen.com/?p=384 , but that one does not work either.

  Here's the actual script by A.Mikkelsen that is based on code by LucD in the forum mentioned previously.

  BEGINNING

  # The script terminates all sessions if idle idle user for more than xx #.

  $intOlderThan = 60

  # Connect-VIServer $server - user $user-password $pwd

  $svcRef = new-object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
  $svcRef.Type = 'ServiceInstance.
  $svcRef.Value = 'ServiceInstance.
  $serviceInstance = get-views $svcRef

  $sessMgr = get-view $serviceInstance.Content.sessionManager
  $oldSessions = @)
  {foreach ($sess in $sessMgr.SessionList)}
  If (($sess.)) (LastActiveTime) .addminutes ($intOlderThan) - lt (Get-Date)) {}
  $oldSessions += $sess. Key
  #write "$($sess.)". User name)'
  }
  }

  # Session terminal that are inactive for more than approved ($intOlderThan)
  $sessMgr.TerminateSession ($oldSessions)

  Disconnect-VIServer *-confirm: $false

  END

  The error message I get is:

  BEGINNING

  Exception calling 'TerminateSession' with '1' or the arguments: "it was not correct to specified parameters.

  "

  + $sessMgr.TerminateSession < < < < ($oldSessions)

  + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:)) [], MethodInvocationException)

  END

  I should mention that my knowledge of PowerCLI is almost nothing, so any help in tweaking this script to make it work with PowerCLI 5.1 Release 2 and VC 5 U2 would be much appreciated.

  The error is caused by the fact that you are trying to kill your own session (if it was started long time ago).

  Apparently in vSphere 5. they included a security mechanism integrated to avoid this.

  You can take this by adding a simple test.

  ## max number of idle minutes for sessions to keep$intOlderThan = 60$serviceInstance = Get-View 'ServiceInstance'## get the session manager object$sessMgr = Get-View $serviceInstance.Content.sessionManager## array to hold info about stale sessions$oldSessions = @()foreach ($sess in $sessMgr.SessionList){    if (($sess.LastActiveTime).addminutes($intOlderThan) -lt (Get-Date) -and          $sess.Key -ne $sessMgr.CurrentSession.Key){        $oldSessions += $sess.Key    } ## end if} ## end foreach
  
  ## if there are any old sessions, terminate them; else, just write message to the Warning streamif (($oldSessions | Measure-Object).Count -gt 0) {    ## Terminate sessions than are idle for longer than approved ($intOlderThan)    $sessMgr.TerminateSession($oldSessions)} ## end ifelse {Write-Warning "No sessions that have been idle for more than '$intOlderThan' minutes; no action taken"}
  

• Use vCenter custom during the VRO flow specification

  My group and I are currently working on a compute cloud workflow where customers request a VM and it gets automatically configured using vRO/vRA.  We already have a specification in vCenter for Windows create the local administrator password and join the guest to the area.  We currently built in flow "Clone, with several network adapters and the Windows credential" for most working with hard-coded credentials.  What we have is either find a way to take the custom specification and enter the data that we need to place, or somehow apply the spec together personalised to the VM during the clone process.  I know means 2nd option, we need to go far from the built circulation to create our own, but if it's the only way then so be it.

  Any help would be appreciated,

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is possible to get a vCenter's existing customization specification and pass it to the customizeVM_Task() method, not sure if there is a workflow of library of ready-to-use for this.

  Check out these links for examples (they are "well aged" :-) but should still work in current versions):

  Need help to start with the cloning by specification of customization

  Deploy the model with customization

  and http://www.vcoportal.de/2011/04/customize-a-virtual-machine/

  customizationSpec

  I found it generally easier to use an object existing specification, and replacing just the settings I want to change a programming than to create a new suit from scratch. You might get some that mistakes a specified parameter was"not correct" back from vCenter, missing a few pieces of the specification.

  Make sure, for example, the number of network adapters configured for the virtual computer is the number of network adapter settings in the book loads.

• Fact vCenter Client 5.0 / vCenter Server 5.0 supports transferring files to a virtual computer?

  Hello

  I got to know that VMware WS - SDK integrated 5.0 features of VIX - API to perform operations within the guest operating system.

  Onyx project let us know the code for everything we do in vCenter client.

  So, the question is to know if these operations are supported by vCenter Client 5.0.

  Because if it is yes then we learned to know the code for these operations using onyx.

  Hello-

  I think that LucD spoke how PowerCLI code be generated out of the Onyx session and has been assuming that you connected to Onyx with your vSphere client.  You can also connect to a session PowerCLI Onyx and Onyx creates the calls/code based on the same API as it would in when connect you through the vSphere client.

  To connect to your session PowerCLI at Onyx, you can use a couple of parameters on Connect-VIServer. as:

  Connect-VIServer localhost -Port 1545 -Protocol http
  

  This assumes that you have launched Onyx on your local machine, and that you let him listening on the default port of 1545 (this Onyx server info is displayed in the title bar of the window of Onyx).  Note about the Protocol: it's just how Onyx works for now - it does not use https for communication between your local client (client vSphere or PowerCLI) and the Onyx service itself.  Do not too much risk, since this clear traffic is local, but something to be aware of.

  How is this, Mathieu?

• I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

  As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

  At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

• Is there a work around to show the Site identity button when the integration with facebook like/send etc. It disappears when it comes to the page, it's because of the iframe can be done if anything.

  Is there a work around to show the Site identity button when the integration with facebook like/send etc. It disappears when it comes to the page, it's because of the iframe

  What can be done if anything.

  Pages that use "mixed content" (parts of the use of the HTTP page and some use HTTPS) are not secure against tampering, they will not display the site identity button. To resolve this problem, make sure that external resources you are incorporation are available over HTTPS and you use HTTPS to nest them.

  For example, to iframe widgets like the Facebook 'Like' buttons, make sure that your iframe use src = "https://192.168.1.20 /...". »
